Poster Art for ArtWorks 2001
by Sandy Johnson

The development of this exhibition is now in collaboration with the Brevard Museum of Art & Science and:

• The Strawbridge Art League
•ArtWorks 2004 Inc.

ArtWorks of Eau Gallie Fine Art Festival is an extraordinary experience for all. The community-oriented event features up to 100 artists working in Plein Air. Due to the unique requirement that each artist create works as they exhibit or demonstrate their techniques, this exceptional show consistently attracts serious art collectors and patrons of the arts. The monetary awards have increased steadily since ArtWorks inception in 1996 to $7600 for 2007. Patron purchase awards have increased annually with $4,000 awarded in last year’s ArtWorks. The show involves the Brevard Museum of Art and Science, Brevard Symphony Orchestra, Eau Gallie Public Library, local galleries, and the Brevard Porcelain Artists.

REQUIREMENTS

This is a "working artists" show. All artists must be prepared to either demonstrate their method of work or be able to illustrate works in progress. All artwork displayed must be created by the exhibitor.

Artists must exhibit and be present throughout the two days of the show. Commercial items from kits are prohibited. Works made from kits such as novelty crafts, knitting, decoupage, jewelry, mold made ceramics, or craft items in general that do not qualify as “fine art” will not be accepted. Limited prints and Giclees are allowed with only two browse boxes per booth. Work exhibited must be consistent with the work submitted. The Festival Committee reserves the right to remove any work that does not meet the show guidelines. Displaying ribbons and awards from other shows is prohibited.
